fossil fuels

imagine that you're scientist dr. raul cano, on an expedition to find ancient microscopic creatures that might have some kind of medical value. instead, you find an ancient bee entombed inside a chunk of amber 45 (+- 15) million years ago (think jurassic park)! using a somewhat controversial new technique, you extract 45 million year old bacteria and yeast from inside the gut of the bee!!
